We've been busy

Last Monday was a very sad day for us, Mac's family dog, Sadie, joined Bayley in doggie heaven. She was 12.5 years old and lived a very pampered life! She was such a sweet and quirky girl:) She would take her long nose and literally shove you off the couch if you were sitting in her spot, or she'd push all the pillows off so she could lounge! I swear she had a hole in her lip because the water would pour out of her mouth after she drank. She had Grandma trained too...every time Grandma was on the phone, Sadie would start barking and in return she'd get a treat to be quiet! She was a smart cookie! She took Bayley under her wing when he was just a couple months old and taught him how to sleep on the couch and ignore all commands! And she taught Bode how to milk Grandma and Poppop for everything they've got! We are going to miss that Sadie girl! I know Bayley was first in line to greet her and take her under his wing.
We donated to the Canine Cancer Campaign through the Morris Animal Foundation in Sadie's name. Morris Animal Foundation is ranked a four-star charity, the highest ranking, and it's tax deductible. There are lots of different programs and ways to donate, if dogs aren't your thing, you can donate to cats, birds, horses, wildlife, and even llama's and alpaca's! You can send someone an honor or sympathy card in their pets name too. Canine cancer is close to our hearts and was the foundation and inspiration for this here blog. If you love an animal and have some spare change, please consider donating! Bayley sends his love and thanks!

Sadie Girl

We are so sorry that it's been so long since our last blog...we are practically in tears over it! We have been so very busy...in a wonderful way!

p.s. She's become a professional FAKER!
Thanks Jess for the outfit...it's size 6 months but still fits her great!!
daddy is fine tuning her skillz
And mommy cleans her up quite nicely
We headed to Nanny and Poppop's for Memorial Day for some quality snuggle time, pool time, beach time, parade time and picnic time!
breakfast on the back porch
Why do my dogs pose??
The beach in Beaufort is sooo beautiful...much more serene than it is here. Very fitting for such a small, quaint coastal town.
The sand is whiter and the coast line is far less disturbed.

Protecting her baby blues
And this, well this was just funny.

Just look at the beautiful coast with all of the palms



Can't keep her out!!!
Maryn had a blast with Nanny and Poppop


Had to clean her sandy heinie!
And then mommy got a little R & R...
...and Maryn did too!
Our bathing beauty
Not afraid of the water one bit


Some times it's hard being so cute

My M.A.C's and I
Sweet baby....mommy loves you
Caught!
Someone found the cheerios in the diaper bag

Tryin' to keep up with Bode and Poppop
The Live Oak trees in Beaufort add such charm, it's beautiful

Watching the Memorial Day parade....check out the goof on the far right:) He cracks me up, so alert!
Thank you to all of those who serve our country, you are far more brave than I.
Lady M is starting to get a little flip in the back of her hair.


Her current favorite activity...coloring
She's sassy, people!
She just chilled on Great Uncle Bryan's lap for about an hour, it was so cute.
He came all the way from Texas to see Maryn again
Memorial pool party/picnic
And we couldn't leave Nanny's without some ice cream
It is hot hot hot here, so we usually cool off like this.
Daddy insisted on the modesty patch
We went out to dinner for our friends birthday and Maryn insisted that she had to take this call.
I kicked her under the table for being rude.
Our little social butterfly found a friend at the restaurant. She was actually born a week after Maryn at the same hospital!!
Now you can get a better idea of what having a head circumference in the 5th percentile looks like! ha ha
I love when babies squat like this, little munchkins!
Maryn was trying to figure out what her pacifier was??



Nothing better than some watermelon on a hot day at the beach


Notice Baby Girl beelining for the water while no one is watching
Hangin' at the beach with auntie Heidi, who loves taking pictures of Maryn
Uncle Nick was teaching Maryn how to ride the waves
I had water safety under control....until....
...a wave hit! Thanks for catching that on camera Heidi!! I was laughing pretty hard when I found this on my camera.
Maryn didn't even flinch...she actually laughed and ran farther in!
And when you're having a bad day, a bad week or bad month... and you have an amazing friend who sends you these, thank God for that friendship.
I love you, girl!
